Hi guys. 1st of all… thanks for watching and for all the great comments and questions. Many of you have asked if we considered the Americanizer adapter along with a short sewer hose in the hose storage area. I thought I’d pin a comment so everyone can see where we’re coming from and why we chose not to travel with this pretty cool product. Yes we did consider it. It is an ingenious design… simple and works with a purpose. For an Ekko or bigger RV I’d say it would be worth the storage for us. It’s not just the size of the adapter… it is but not totally… it’s also about the hose you have to carry… and what you can’t store in the tube that the hose would have to be stored in… (where we store our propane bottles and Thermocell). We find that we empty the grey tank about 1/3 of the time that we empty the cassette toilet so washing out the hose with grey water after dumping would be an issue for us. And we rarely park at a site in a way that would allow us to empty the grey tank without having to spin the seats and move the van. All of these factors added together means it would not travel with us because it would not work for our way of traveling. We realize that everyone travels differently. And we always advise folks to travel several times with just the bare bones to find “their” style before investing in accessories or modifications. We use every square inch of the van’s storage and every item has to serve at least 1 good purpose, whether that’s keeping us or the van clean, keeping us fed, allowing us to film and edit, or taking care of the waste water.If we had more storage it would be something we’d consider as providing that one good purpose. I’d say if you have room you should try the Americanizer and a collapsible sewer hose. That’s why we don’t currently use that cool product. But… what do you guys think? -Owen

Never heard "Bob's your uncle" without an English accent.
What do you use for your flush liquid?
@@The_Ballo depends. These days Therford packets.
My favorite cassette moment was when my six year decided she wanted to use the van toilet instead of the house toilet, at the same time I had just taken it out for a proper cleaning and airing. Nice little gift awaited me a few days later when I went to put it back in!
I chuckled more at this than I should have.
Very clever and very well explained! Thanks. I never would have thought of doing the "dry run" of leaving the cap on, setting up the angle, and all that. Makes perfect sense! Thanks for the tip!
My newly wed wife laughed at every single one of your jokes while I intently listened to make sure I didn’t spill her crap all over this tightly cramped campground. Your video was so helpful I think I can put up with her crap for the rest of our marriage. Thanks so much!!
Hi to you all. I also like the cassette toilet easy to dump anywhere. Also a funny story, our first dump at a RV park 4 years ago. I set the cap to close to the 4” pipe and while dumping it the cap rolled right down the 4” in drain. I didn’t have enough hands to stop it while dumping the tank 😂 So I recommend putting the cap in a safe place. Thanks for sharing your tips.
I hate to ask but what did you do for a cap after that? Or do I want to know? 😂
I put a plastic bag over the opening and used some electrical tape to hold it in place until we got the new one from Amazon 👍
Excuse the second comment but I tried it today with a pvc drain and it works! I measured the angle with the lid on and then rolled the porta potty tank back just as you showed. Brilliant! Thank you.
Glad it worked for you.
I relied on your video to get me through my first ever "dump". I'm so proud of me! I'm a new and extremely green trailer owner but determined to learn what I need to know. Great video and thank you!
That is so very, very awesome! I bet now you're a pro at it! Congrats!
Best video I've seen on this! Thanks
I've been looking for this step by step video for almost two years. Thank you!!!
This is great! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks. Great tips -- well done. We enjoy your RUclips posts. All the best on your current trip!
You are welcome and thank you for watching.
Great tips on the cassette toilet. I prefer the cassette toilet in my 2019 Revel over the traditional RV black tank in my previous RV. The cassette is so much more convienent and easier to dump. Don't need that stinky slinky.
We totally agree with you on the cassette… so much better.
So practical and helpful, as always. Thank you.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
Great video and advice! Thank you!!
Thanks. Great timing. You have been our favorite van lifers to follow since 2020. I just picked up my Winnebago PX 2 weeks ago. I’ll be using your cassette tips tomorrow. Live in Pcola and love how well you show the places you’ve been to. Jo
So tomorrow means you have your new baby now, right? THAT IS AWESOME!!!! We love the PX models. Thanks for the kind words about our view of your state! It’s one of our “happy tail places” for sure.
Excellent video! Concise to the point with relevant tips and no nonsense. This should be a masterclass in making videos.
Thank you so much for this video. Showed the hubby and he will now be using your technique.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Great tip. Look forward to the grey water talk. Cheers from snowy northern Maine. DaveH
You are very welcome. Grey water tips will be on Tuesday 1/25.
Great hint video. You did a good job Owen.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks.. for sharing these tips..you make it S0oo...simple and easy 👍😁😊
Don’t always make it look easy… I just have the option to edit out the shots that don’t look so easy. We rarely mess up with the cassette now but there have been times when I was dancing like the dump station was full of spiders and snakes.
Good demo! Good hints for care and treatments. I love your sense of humor! Y’all have a good week! See you Sunday! ❤️🙏🏻 Jane in SC
Love you too sweet Jane in SC
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle ❤️
This video is priceless…not just the advise which is great…but the crappy jokes as well! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
7:37 Gave me a much needed hearty chuckle. Thanks for that
Glad we were able to make you chuckle. 🤣
That makes it easier..Thanks for sharing
You are welcome. I hope it helps.
Thsnk you Owen for this tip on cleaning your toilet in the rebel. Looks easy enough. Gross but easy enough. Probably doesn’t hold a lot like a bigger rig. Thank you again Owen and Lynn for this video. Hope you have a great day and week.
You are right it does not hold any where the amount that a larger RV would and you have to empty it a lot more. But it’s really nice when we use the van as a daily driver and we can empty the cassette at home instead of trying to find a dump station. We appreciate you watching.
Thanks for this video. You make it look so easy. I have a thetford but I haven't used it yet.
Thanks for the kind words. Reach out if you have questions when you use it. Maybe think of filling it with water and practicing with “duds”.
Great and informative video!
Great tips! Thanks so much.
You bet!
Thanks for the video. Best one I have seen on how to empty the cassette
Glad it helped! I was shooting for a video that was not too “crappy”. 😂
Good idea and demonstration. Liking seeing you on Tuesday!
You like seeing us on Tuesdays even when I talk crap? 😂
Different day. Same sh!t??
I don’t mind emptying my porta potty tank at all but you really do have some clever tips. Fantastic.
Aaah. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. Love your clear and concise explanation on a crappy subject...lol
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your knowledge.
Every tip helps makes this job easier.
Love it - thank you! We used to have a cassette toilet in our Rockwood high wall pop up camper. We had quite a few mishaps with it not catching on the toilet properly and my hubby put yellow all inside the cassette storage area. . . I should have made him clean that up :o) We definitely prefer having tanks now but glad you seem to enjoy it and have mastered it.
Yeah… Lynn has learned that if she makes me clean up a mess I’ll try harder not to make it again. But that can be a stinky mess if you have a leak when you’re done taking a leak. 😂
Thanks for the tips! I've only dumped mine once with my new used pop up and I didn't have any problems. But I can see how your method prevents a lot of potential issues.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
We are also looking for your Grey water trick also. Your explanation of the cassette toilet was very informative. The more details on your experiences with the class B are very helpful.
Thanks for your fun adventures.
Happy Tails.
Glad it was a help guys. Next Tuesday Tip will be on how we handle grey water without a stinky slinky hose.
Thank You for making this amazing video.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching!
that is so smart and thanks for the tip
the cassette cap has measurements in it like a measuring cup. i store my gloves and treatment right inside the door of the cassette so its always on hand 😊 great video!
We always tell everyone that we learn more from you guys than we ever teach. That’s a great tip. I’ll use that measuring tip next time. We feel like you have to use every square inch in the van to make the most of it.
Great advice! We’re awaiting the delivery of our 2022 Revel at the end of April. Truly have enjoyed your videos and tipsters! Happy Tails to you Lynn and Maggie.
Happy Tails back at you Arlen! Bet you’re like a kid at Christmas counting down until April! Hope we get to see your Revel one day in person.
Arlen...how do you like your Revel? I've had mine for about 3.5yrs now and love it. I travel all over the west with my dogs. I'm heading out again tomorrow for N.M. :)
Great tip on your pouring technique Owen! Thanks!
My Dad always taught me that aim was really important when it came to toilets. Well, actually it was Mom how taught me with words like if you can’t do better than that then you need to be the one cleaning up in here. You learn fast. Hope you’re safe and warm.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle LOL that's good! You had smart parents :D
Hey not bad !!! Crazy Eddy would be happy with this video !! Lo lo lo good chuckle . Thank you for sharing this video with me!!! (BS & BK )
Crazy Eddy would just dump it out in the drain. haha
Great video. We have been so hesitant in buying a Thor Sanctuary, over a Roadtrek Zion SRT - for two reasons. The SRT is built slightly Bette and more “rich” but primarily due to a good old fashioned black tank.
Last week we decided to say forget it let’s buy the Sanctuary as we prefer to have 4x4 and a nicer driving Sprinter.
Then seeing this video now helps us in knowing we probably didn’t make the wrong crap shoot lol.
The Thor Sanctuary looks awesome. We didn’t know if we would like the cassette toilet when we first bought the revel but now I don’t think we would want to go back and look for places to dump all the time and since we use the van for a daily driver being able to dump at home has been great. Good luck with your Thor.
Thank you! My first time doing this was a success, thanks to your tips!
That makes me smile! Thanks for taking the time to let us know the video was helpful. Happy travels!
I could do that. Not as hard as I would have thought. Thanks for sharing.
Now that’s what we were hoping to show! We’re heading towards Tampa in a day or so if you want to come and take a turn, 😂.
I've installed one in my Transit build. You are the first one who showed how to turn the neck and tilt holding is on it's side. It looks like much better result.
I’m glad it helped. I actually think Thetford wanted us to do it that way. If you look at the back of the cassette it’s rounded so it rolls into a horizontal pouring position naturally. Good luck with your build!
BRILLIANT!! Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
You are awesome! thank you!
Thank you! You are awesome too!!!
Great tip!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the nice trick!
Works every time... unless it doesn't 😂
Wow! Thank you VERY much!
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
Thank you so very, very much for the Super Thanks! I didn’t even know what that was until now! Not necessary but very much appreciated!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽Great tip ty, i just ordered a new Thor Rize, it will be my first full blown RV 😬👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your RV. Safe travels.
Excellent video.
Thanks, we appreciate you watching.
Very helpful. Thankyou for the tips. I've heard of people digging a hole to dump the contents in while boondocking. Just didn't seem right nor ethical. Infact, I don't think that's even legal. You made this seem so much easier than I thought it could be.
I know if you are camping while hiking you would have to dig a hole so I would think emptying the cassette would be the same thing. We have never had the need to do that. It is easy.
THANK YOU!!!!!! You made me not so afraid of a cassette toliet! Now what about smell inside your rig?
No need to be afraid. We do use solution inside the toilet for the smell some work better than others I also put little car febreze air freshens inside the bathroom to also help. A lot people say to add a little water to the toilet after you use it to seal the trap and that will also help. We do notice the smell more when the cassette is more full.
I'm glad you are happy with you cassette this video gets a thumbs 👍
Thanks again! You get a Thumbs Up Too!!
Thx mate appreciate the help!! Never knew you had to push the blue button in lol!!!
You’re very welcome. Just be careful when you push the button. It will stop the gurgling and make the flow very steady… but faster so be prepared.
Thank you! I’m not so afraid now
You are so welcome.
loved the video and lost it with the cousin Eddie reference "Sh*tters full!" thanks for the tips
Glad you got the Christmas Vacation reference. It’s one of Owen’s favorites. Thanks for watching.
Yes sir, emptying the cassette toilet is always a crap shoot. Thanks for the tip.
Good one! 😂. The 90-degree tip helps even the odds a little.
Thanks for the tips Owen, that's what we have now .😉
Awesome!!! Feel free to share some of your “oh crap” moments. 😂
thank, you for you're video. you know I've never heard of a cassette tank. I asume I'm going to have to buy something for my van. I'll watch you're video on this tank. Again thank, you for you're video. Happy, camping. Random vanners east coast virginia 2%
They are a lot easier than a lot of people think. Great for a van.
I have really enjoyed your travels. We use the cassette toilet and love it. Use the bag system for # 2. Thinking about the Travado and wanted to see how you haul your Rads. What do you do?Right now we travel in a cargo trailer conversion but we are 77 and want to stay on the road!
We have a Thule bike that we haul our bikes on. I would rather have a place inside because it’s so rough on them with the places we go.
If there were an RV video of the year, you should be nominated! ❤
That would be cool if I won that for this "crappy" video. 😂
Thanks man!!!
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
We don't have a travel trailer yet but are in the final decision making process. We are considering a TAB 400 and a TAB 320 CS-S. Not having owned an RV before our only experience is with a Class C motor home that we rented for 2 weeks several years ago. I did the dumping of the black tank and it didn't seem that bad. One of my biggest concerns about the TAB 320 is the cassette toilet. But honestly after watching the several videos that you have done on the subject, I'm not concerned at all. And honestly with some planning, it seems like a better way to go. The trick you showed of setting the cassette down and then doing a dry run to line it up is brilliant and it took the aiming anxiety out of using this kind of system. Thanks for your channel. I just discovered it and I'm really enjoying it a lot. My wife and I hope to have our unit early next year so hope to see you on the road.
Good luck with your purchase. We both prefer the cassette toilet over a black tank but everyone is different. You do have to empty more often but places to empty are more available.
You put a little "glug" into it? Lol. I love that. I'm going to adopt that word! :)))
You can use that word for a lot of things. 🤣. Will you put a glug of cream in my coffee? 😂
I’m getting my van with cassette toilet this week I hope I can lift it how heavy do they get ? Thanks for sharing .
It’s been a game changer for us… for the better.
Owen dumping his poop; the content we’re all here for! LOL! Nicely done Owen!
Glad my poop is so popular and interesting John! 😂 My grandfather used to call me “turd head”… guess he got that right!
Good demo.....is it 40 # full? I like the idea of the cassette.
Yes. Around that. Kinda gross to think about carrying 40#’s of crap and pee around if you think about it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣Doing a hiya, hiya dance!
Hi from Australia.I find that emptying my toilet cassette in a regular toilet you get a lot of splashback, did it in my mother's house once, the whole house smelled like crap.
We don’t get a lot of back splash and I don’t remember the house smelling when Owen empty’s the cassette at our house.
Our usual place to stay is at a state campground. There, we'll either have access to a 4" sewer hole...OR a campground toilet. Do you recommend that we avoid putting TP into the cassette? (sorta like how you do #2 in Mexico..you put TP in a wastepaper basket). was wondering about this if you get a "blocked pipe" when dumping it out.
To be honest we don’t do #2 that often in the van, we try to find other places… but when we do we use TP and have never had a problem, but that maybe due to us not using that much TP.
It would help if the holding-tank opening was at least twice as large. This way your “aim” would not have to be as precise.
Thanks for the video.
Nice demo. Apparently my wife was unfamiliar with Cousin Eddie so I found some video.
I'm curious whether you've considered The Americanizer and a short hose. You made that look easy but then you were obviously shooting blanks, so to speak.
Yes we did. It is an ingenious design… simple and works with a purpose. For an Ekko or bigger RV I’d say it would be worth the storage for me. It’s not just the size the adapter… it’s more the hose you have to carry… and what you can’t store in the tube that the hose would have to be stored in… and we empty the grey tank about 1/3 of the time that we empty the cassette toilet so washing out the hose would be an issue for us… and we rarely park at a site in a way that would allow us to empty the grey tank without having to spin the seats and move the van… whew… all of these added together means it would not travel with us because it would not work for our way of traveling. We use every square inch of the van’s storage and every item has to serve at least 1 good purpose, whether that’s keeping us or the van clean, keeping us fed, allowing us to film and record or taking care of the tanks. But if we had more storage it would be something we’d consider as providing that one good purpose. I’d say if you have room you should try the Americanizer and a collapsible sewer hose. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Owen
OK bought a spare cassette in d Vance of our Ekko delivery. When I try your method the aiming is spot on. However when we push the vent button fluid comes out of the vent button. Are you waiting to vent until your sure the vent is going to be only air?
Yes, you have to wait until it empties below the blue button or "stuff" will escape there. Also, make sure the blue button is at the highest point not the lowest and that helps. We also try to not to fill up the cassette that full too... it helps with that issue and it is not as heavy to carry and empty. Good luck with it.
thank you! luckily we were just testing with water. glad we practiced! @@VANTREKKINGlifestyle
What’s a vault toilet?
My fav part of this video is seeing how good you get up and down off the ground!
A vault toilet is like a port-a-potty, so you don’t have to flush it.
Thanks can you tell me how you know when it's full?
There is a gauge on the toilet, which is not always correct and sometimes it goes from green to red in one use. You can also look down the toilet when the trap door is open. We normally know that in 3 days it needs to be emptied. I hope this helps.
Was thinking of adding the Americanizer that FitRV invented. Have you ever considered it or no need because you are used to the dumping process? Thought the idea of using the hose and then flushing the cassette out with the gray tank was a great idea.
We own one. Don't travel with it. We dump cassette about every 3-4 days and dump the grey only about every 2 weeks so it wouldn't work for us that way. But the product works well.
This answered all the questions I had about dumping a cassette toilet. I've decided that 5 gallons isn't enough for me as I am a "heavy crapper". Looks like I'll be having a 50 gallon tank installed in my school bus.
Wish that was a HAHA 😂 button. Too funny. BTW this is Owen and I just replied while on the crapper. Small world. It works for us but there are compromises for sure. Good luck with your bud build. We've always wanted to do that.
What is the blade opener switch on top?
It allows it to be opened and cleaned (more thoroughly)
“… a little bleurg into there…”
Bah! these old imperial measures! What’s that in metric? 😂
Thanks for some great tips, very useful for a total newb like me. I especially like the lining up the spout to the drain before removing the cap 👍 Thanks!
You’re very welcome Dennis. Glad it helps. Here’s to days and days of non-brown shoes and socks while dumping.
In metric it's 1 theford sachet every 4-5 days :)
I'm here because I'm looking for a cassette toilet for tent camping and popup camping with my husband and two kiddos. This certainly makes it seem easier than I had envisioned. If we're tent camping and there's no place to dump this thing... is it safe to flush down our toilet at home?
We do it after every trip. Any place you can do your business it's safe to empty the cassette... unless a stated rule or sign prohibits it. Glad you found us. Good luck with crapping in the worlds.... it's something we all do whether we're tent camping or in a million dollar motorhome... gotta plan for that.. for cooking... for sleeping... and for how to get water to drink, cook and wash with.
Nicely done, Owen. From an old sewage plant guy: Gloves? We don’t need no stinking gloves!
Thanks for having my back Bill. But many on here have expressed worry over me not using gloves. I’m too lazy, too careful or out of gloves… take your pick on which excuse works best. Best advice… wash your hands right afterwards and don’t chew your nails. 😂
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle 🤣 And old plumber gave me that advice.
Now that was a crappy video! Great job Owen. Love the tips…
You guys have a black tank in yours don’t you? BTW, miss you guys. Haven’t cooked the shrimp yet but any day now. Hope you’re doing well.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle We do have a black tank. We are leaving for Koreshann SP on Monday. Will text you guys our plans!!
When you mentioned cousin Eddie, that was exactly what everyone is thinking with this video. shitters full!
For Sure! And when I miss when I’m emptying I always yell out “It’s A Beaut’ Clark!” 😂
Go into a fast food place holding that thing up and ask for directions to the restroom! Thanks for sharing the easy way to do things after you’ve done the trial and error parts! No cassette here- we have the good ol cousin Eddie black tank.
Hey!!!! Thanks for playing the best place to empty game! Not many have. That would be so funny… maybe come out with melted chocolate all over your hands and clothes and get in line and order. haha
Ha. I like it!!
Thank you for using just plain water for the demonstration. 😎
😂👍 Yes… the initial dump was in the flush toilet with a little moaning for fun.
This was my first video of yours that I've watched. I'm now going back to the beginning to watch from the start! Thanks!
ThAnk you! Glad you found us.
Here’s another tip
Always make sure the toilet will flush and not plugged up when dumping your cassette. I went to dump my cassette and the toilet wouldn’t flush. The toilet over flowed and made a mess.You can’t. always assume the toilet will flush and this one didn’t look plugged.Always do a test flush before you dump your cassette into flush toilet.
What a great tip!!! I’ll start doing that. I bet you were dancing on your tiptoes when that happened.
Can this be hooked up to a sewer like you dump a regular tank?
Yes. Search Amazon for Americanizer from James at FitRV. It can be attached to cassette toilet allowing it to be connected to hose and dump station.
Funny video.
Glad you think so!
Where are you homebased? We live in Knoxville Tennessee and have full hookups. Would love to meet up with you!
We live in the mountains of NC, so not far from you. We would love to meet up sometime.
I enjoy the Tuesday talks. Happy tails (pun intended)
pun received!!! 😂😂👍
What a load of crap !! 😎😎😎👍👍👍 seriously, good job, I’ve been turned off by the cassette since it first showed up on the scene, I’ve not changed my mind but I won’t be Poo-Pooing the cassettes…Thanks again!
You had me laughing! Thank you! What a crappy comment! 😂😂. Like I told another viewer, So… do I love it? No… honestly no… I wish we could be in a spaceship and have it just disappear. But what I do love is the freedom of not having to always be planning for a dump station as we travel. It makes a huge difference in how you travel when you can literally go anywhere. We could do that in the Travato but always knew we had to end up at a campground or dump station about every 3 days.
"A Cousin Eddie". ROFL. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of Owen’s favorite movies.
Do you LOVE yours?!? I can't quite see anyone LOVING a cassette toilet (or any toilet for that matter!). 😁
Fantastic way of emptying... thanks for sharing!
Be seeing you!
Be seeing you sweet friend. So… do I love it? No… honestly no… I wish we could be in a spaceship and have it just disappear.

@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle "It makes a huge difference in how you travel when you can literally go anywhere."
Um... you can go anywhere in your REVEL! It's a 4x4!.
Oh. You mean GO anywhere... 😆
Sounds like you have the Cassette option all figured out, so that's a big plus! Ours (assuming we finally get ours) will have a C-Head, which is a so called 'composting' toilet. Advantage is... we just throw the bag away when it's used up, full, at capacity, ready to dump! Disadvantages are it uses a separate container for liquids that has to be dumped more regularly and uses a compost medium that we have to haul around. You win some. You lose some! Have a great trip, wherever you GO! Be seeing you!
@@RoadsofLife Liquids are no issue at all… get the van up to about 60mph on the interstate… roll down the window and start pouring. 😂😂. Just make sure we’re not behind you!
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Okay... both the wife and I can't stop laughing! 🤣
We would never pour out a window if you were behind us!!
Somebody else... well.... ya take your chances! 🤪
Here's to travel with humor in your heart! (and an empty bladder!!)
Ummm what happened to I’ll tell you about the gray tank?
Not sure.
Ha!
Ha!
Probably a no go for me. I think a black tank will be a requirement for our Class B (currently researching)
I can understand that. We’ve had both and we really wish we’d had the cassette toilet in Alaska especially. One thing to consider is you’re only dealing with your own germs with a cassette toilet. With a tank and hose you’re dealing with other germs left by other people’s crap. But I do understand that it’s not for everyone.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle that's a good point. Was finding places to dump in Alaska a problem? Our plans are to wander around most of the time, not planning to be in full service camp grounds much. To steal a line from Owen....I like my dog and maybe 3 people
@@michaelbecnel63 We managed in Alaska… but watching the tank levels was always on our minds. Many places let you dump for free… some for $10. But we never had an issue finding a place… but we worried about it a lot because we just went like you’re wanting to go and rolled into a campground maybe 5 times in 4 months. You watch way too much if you know my favorite lines… but we love you for it!
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle just rewatched it with my wife and we are discussing the what ifs....how often do you have to dump the cassette? Cassette may be the way to go because of the different dump options
@@michaelbecnel63 As with everything m... it depends. If we are trying to stretch it we can go 4... maybe 5 days tops. We usually count on emptying every 3 days. As long as you're not completely dispersed that is never a problem. And in a pinch you can always dig a hole but tell anyone I said that. 😂👍
